Yep, that is my point, and if he wins with Social Conservatives publicly sitting it out, it will marginalize Socons for a generation. All of the work that Reagan put in will be washed away. I not old enough to remember the 1968 primaries, but Reagan won the pop vote and got stabbed in the back by the Gop at the convention. He didn’t take his ball and go home, instead he continued to fight within the party to take it where he wanted it. That is our only option now, we should learn my history, not ignore it.
Well, if some staunch Conservative ala Reagan slugs it out with the Ruling Class and can get the nomination in 2016 despite the backstabbing, I will vote for the Conservative.
Romney doesn’t get my vote, or anyone else I can convince to vote Conservative this year.
I won’t buy into the lame attempt at riddling us with guilt. You can stop trying, it won’t work. As Reagan famously said, “I didn’t leave the party, the party left me”. And such is true with the GOP as it was with the Dems for Ronnie.
I’m done with the party. I vote Conservative, PERIOD and I promote Conservatives, PERIOD.
